Recent environmental policies and higher needs of energy have led to the huge growth in renewable sources consumptions. Consuming renewable energies however, is not always free of challenges. Many studies have been done ...

As electric vehicles (EV) continue to gain market traction, more research is being conducted in the control of the power conditioning system. This thesis focuses on control strategies for the front-end AC/DC converter. ...

Haptic simulation systems allow human users to kinesthetically interact with virtual environment models through a robotic mechanism known as a haptic interface. The sampled-data nature of haptic interfaces limits the range ...

This thesis addresses the design and implementation of micro-inverters for grid-connected single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems. Despite the existing research issues concerning Micro-inverters, they have recently become ...

This thesis presents control methods to improve the efficiency and dynamic response of wind turbines that use a permanent magnet synchronous generator operating under a wide input and load range. Two new nonlinear controllers ...

Future electric grid will evolve from the current centralized and radial model toward a more distributed one. In recent years, distributed generation (DG) units have been playing an important role in electric generation ...
